A bit of history about colours

It is said that a long, long time ago, everyone’s browser had its own color palette.

An ordinary oil painting, opened on another computer, might be able to make you appreciate the contrast and sensory punch of pop art – interspersed with the wit of silicon-based creatures.

Then there was a company known as Netscape, who specified 216 colors based on the integer value of 51; so that no matter where you were, the display would be the same.

We know these colors as web-safe colours. The theme colour of this website is one of these 216.

While the Internet is full of uncertainties, we can at least be sure that when the data streams return to the past through the 56k modulator-demodulator, the electron gun hits the phosphor, still bringing the same clear, lovely light blue.
